Advantages and disadvantages of polymer and solid wood baseboards

Polymer baseboard: the corner line made of a mixture of PVC, PET, ABS and other plastics, and then printed with wood grain ink on the surface.

Advantages of polymer baseboards: low price.

Disadvantages: The surface damage cannot be repaired, and the surface is not as smooth and textured as paint or veneer on high-density board. The advantage of high density is that the paint surface is smooth, and the veneer has a solid wood feeling, and the disadvantage is that the price is high.

Advantages of solid wood baseboards::

1. Good decorative effect.

The solid wood material has a natural texture, high grade, and the decorative effect is better than that of the general material.

2. Green and environmental protection.

Solid wood material is the most low-carbon and environmentally friendly of all decoration materials, which goes without saying.

3. Strong plasticity.

Solid wood material has good processing performance, planing, sawing, nailing, drilling, bending are not a problem.

Disadvantages of solid wood baseboards:

1. Expensive.

Solid wood is the "aristocracy" in the decoration main material family, of course, the price is also the highest, the baseboard is not very conspicuous compared to the overall space, if the budget is not very high, try to use the silver elsewhere.

2. Solid wood should not be maintained.

The solid wood material is very delicate, and it is easy to cause arching due to the temperature difference, dry and humidity changes caused by the change of seasons, so we should always pay attention to maintenance.

3. It is easy to be damp and moth-eaten.

Solid wood is not waterproof, so try not to use solid wood baseboards on damp or near damp walls, as it is easy to be eaten by insects.

To put it bluntly, the polymer material is plastic, characterized by uniform color, small color difference, consistent texture, not easy to deform, and relatively cheap price, but if it is exposed to direct sunlight, it will fade or even blister, and the requirements for the construction process are also relatively strict.

Solid wood baseboard is convenient for material selection, more environmentally friendly, convenient for construction, you can process it yourself or buy finished products, the disadvantage is that it is relatively easy to deform (small area is not obvious), and it is not resistant to bumps.

It's not called a baseboard, it's called a baseboard. To put it simply: polymer baseboard refers to PVC baseboard. Advantages: not easy to deform, disadvantages: not up to grade; Solid wood baseboard: volatile, classy.
